10,000 Bc

[DBZ2cool]

^ I liked The Day after tommorrow a lot.

This director gets unnecessary flak. Though i have to say 10000 BC sucked a lot. It had zero redeeming qualities.

This movie wasn't THAT bad. I don't know if some of you saw a different version to give it such hate. The only part I ****ing hated was:

Spoiler

When the old lady farted and brought the young girl back to life.

6/10

Did you look for the still background in one of the final scenes? That pissed me off to no end.

 

[tzarinna]

My god, this thread is so . 6/10, 7/10, 10/10 vs 1/10, 3/10, 4/10/.

I saw this movie friday. After i read the bad reviews online , i went in with low expectations. I knew that it wasn't some art flick , just a form of entertaiment. I even went along with the prophecies that seem to to follow each up constantly. And i would've even given this movie 6/10 BUT the ending pissed me off. And everyone in the audience apparantly as i heard loads of "cmon's , christ " etc.

 

[Rac]

he honestly hasnt done anything of significance to look at since independence day.

Or before. t: (Well, not counting Stargate which was good, and ID4 was only a pseudo sequel to it. Will Smith/Kurt Russel, Jeff Goldlum/James Spader, aliens/Goa'uld's etc.)

I saw the movie yesterday, and I actually enjoyed it. It wasn't that great, but I knew what to expect, so I was not disappointed. If you want a movie about men of the ice age hunting mammoths, then you'll get your money's worth.

 

[TLH]

I've slowly lost faith in Emmerich.

 

[X-Maniac]

Just saw it. Liked it a lot. Wanted more action and prehistoric creatures, as the pacing sagged about halfway through. It needed a creature attack in the desert.

And despite people moaning about 'killer chickens' and 'mutant dodos' and 'giant ostrich freaks', the sequence with the giant flightless birds was excellent. And, not only that, such birds did actually exist (Phorhushacos, Gastornis, Diatryma, etc). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phorusrhacos. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanis http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,246019,00.html?sPage=fnc.science/evolution

Beautiful cinematography, visual FX and production designs were stunning. Not 100% convinced by the sabretooth but the mammoths were outstanding. Steven Strait was great, the emotional stuff was fine, even if

Spoiler

the final revival of Evolet seemed a bit cliche, a bit of a stretch.

I'm glad I still know how to enjoy myself and be thrilled by movies such as this.

We need more of these movies, with more prehistoric creatures please!

Only complaint about the creatures - they should have had other prehistoric elephants at the pyramid site. There were other types of prehistoric elephant, and woolly mammoths would not be found in that desert climate. Nor would they survive long if brought there.

 

[the a1ant]

My only interest in this film are the special effects really, so I guess I'll wait for the DVD since the reviews were horrible (for the most part).

I thought Day After Tomorrow and ID were great though

 

[Obsidian]

I enjoyed "Horton Hears a Who" more than this! The CGI was great to look at but I couldn't help but cringe at the acting, particularly Camilla Belle, who I always thought of a budding talent within the Hollywood biz. Well, everyone makes a bad decision in their career.

I was wondering that too, why woolly mammoths in the desert? And the movie may have gotten this right but were woolly mammoths really trained to carry stuff like that in the city? I dont know how they could have done it back then......

No, mammoths or any other elephants were not involved in the building of the pyramids, but it was a cool idea and the pyramid visuals were stunning. There were other types of mammoth, apart from the woolly ones that lived in colder climates, so the moviemakers should have altered them into a more warm-climate version with less fur or another type of prehistoric elephant altogether. Making them into mammoths at least gave the movie coherence with the mammoth hunt earlier and the tribe's knowledge of the mammoths. But, climatically, it didn't make sense for woolly mammoths to be in Egypt.

Also, pyramids weren't built until thousands of years later but within the context of a fictional prehistoric fantasy, that doesn't matter. And the area around the head of the Nile was very fertile in ancient times - it would hardly have been attractive to ancient people if it was a desert. When climate change began to create the Sahara desert, the people migrated to the fertile area around the Nile. It would have been green and lush, with crops being grown and lots of wildlife. I wish the movie would have shown this kind of setting.

Bingo.

So voting 10/10, this is one of the best movies you've ever seen? There is a difference between saying a movie is enjoyable and voting it as one of the best movies of all time, which is basically what you have done here.

 

[tzarinna]

I know how to have a good time at a movie, but it usually happens when my intelligence isn't being completely and utterly insulted.

 

[terry78]

Going to see a goofy popcorn movie doesn't make you any less of a film fan. Even the most successful, intelligent people smoke a doobie or down multiple shots once in a while. I'd put it in that category..except it's a movie.

 

[chaseter]

This thing, quality wise, is neither a 10/10 nor a 1/10. So the people picking on Stacy and Maniac for thinking that way better not have voted 1/10.

And the critics and posters lauging about the slave mammoths or cracked out ostriches are nit picking. I think the last time I checked...this was fiction If a fictional movie cannot make up events, characters, or plots...then what are we going to do about the kid who shoots webbing from his wrist or the billionaire that wears a mask and cape

 

[tzarinna]

Hell, I get the movie is fiction and that's not my issue.
Whatever they were trying to pull off, drama/comedy was not working for me, at all. Some things, I guess, were not intended to be funny left a bad taste in my mouth. But again I knew not to expect much.

I haven't seen the film and don't plan to till it comes out on DVD. I was just curious as to what made you feel like your intelligence was being insulted?

 

[블라스]

"Legend of the child with blue eyes"...

The bad acting really irritated the **** out of me. I can almost tolerate it if the plot wasn't all crazy; poorly put together costumes and sets. I usually have a lot of respect for child actors, but I swear I wanted to throw something at the screen which was so pulled from 300, but made me cringe. It was rushed and poorly choreographed.

Oh and for the love of god when

Spoiler

the slave girl got her hands beat and that was so made for TV 80's style, I could vomit.

If they were trying to give a shout out aka pay homage to movies like The Ten Commandments, it wasn't working for me.

This is not a great film by far...but it had some good moments and good potential, it just didn't deliver. But voting 1/10 for a movie is just as lame as voting 10/10 for a movie. They enjoyed it, you hated it. But from a production value and the CGI effort, this was not a 1/10

 

[Poeman]

if the actual people from 10000 bc had a chance to watch this turd, they wouldnt mind getting stomped by one of those mammoths

Do you want your beating now or later?







I never even voted in the poll.
Don't make me cut you.

I know, I was talking about people who vote 1/10 But I do agree with the acting being stiff. And it seemed every village had a dirty shayman I hated 'old mother' and the narrator made me want to leave. But other than that, this movie could have been great. Loved the mammoths, loved the new take on Egypt, loved the cracked out ostriches, but the sabretooth was a bit lame.
